onclass/offclass problem

[Ruth]

Long story short. I used this on/off class in the head section of my page

Code: Select all

.subOn {
		background-color:#96bdc4; 
		color:#294954; 
		border: 1px #ffffee solid; 
		separatorsize: 1px #96bdc4 solid; 
		font-size: 10px;
		font-style: normal;
		font-weight: bold;
		font-family: arial,helvetica,"times new roman";
		text-align: left;}
	.subOff {
		background-color:#ffffee; 
		color:#8e8b96; 
		border: 1px #96bdc4 solid; 
		separatorsize: 1px #96bdc4 solid;
		font-size: 10px;
		font-style: normal;
		font-weight: bold;
		font-family: arial,helvetica,"times new roman";
		text-align: left;}

and this in the menu data file

Code: Select all

with(subs=new mm_style()){
offclass="subOff";
onclass="subOn";
padding=2;

}

Ns4 won't read the on/off class and the submenus seemed to have a transparent background so the text just blended together with the page text. I tried the following changes and solved the problem in ns4. Picture me dancing . I took out this from the .subOff

Code: Select all

background-color:#ffffee; 
		color:#8e8b96

and put this in menu data file

Code: Select all

with(subs=new mm_style()){
onclass="subOn";
offclass="subOff";
offbgcolor="#ffffee"; 
offcolor="#8e8b96"; 
padding=2;
}

Everything [almost] works in ns 6, 7 opera 6, 7 and ie 5.1 and but for some reason these browsers no longer read the .subOn class which I didn't change. When you mouseover it won't change the font color and background color I have set. Anyone have any idea why or how to fix it, if it is fixable? Here's a link with an abbreviated one cell menu to see what is happening. The first page shows how it was before I did the fix so my design works in ns4 and the second is with the fix and shows what happens with the submenus in the other browsers

I've had no background image in windows ie6 for the last RC's, it could be related.

I've been trying to do something with borderstyle, don't know what the correct method is, but keep getting errors.
